Answer:

The smallest distance the student that the student could be possibly be from the starting point is 6.5 meters.

Explanation:

For 2 quantities A and B represented as

A\pm \Delta A and B\pm \Delta B

The sum is represented as

Sum=(A+B)\pm (\Delta A+\Delta B)

For the the values given to us the sum is calculated as

Sum=(2.9+3.9)\pm (0.1+0.2)

Sum=6.8\pm 0.3

Now the since the uncertainity inthe sum is \pm 0.3

The closest possible distance at which the student can be is obtained by taking the negative sign in the uncertainity

Thus closest distance equals 6.8-0.3=6.5meters

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1992 (Early 1990s)

Explanation:

First of all, i would like to define an extrasolar planet as a planet that orbits a start that is not our own.

The first confirmed detections of extrasolar planets occured in the early 1990s (specifically 1992, some say 1995). The name of the first extrasolar planet is widely believed to be called Dimidium or 51 Pegasi b.  

Extrasolar were searched by monitoring stars for slight dimming that might occur as unseen planets pass in front of them.
